On the Trail of the Red Ruby
March 2014
Inside puts the popular Thai dessert through a taste test and gives you our verdicts!
There is no clear historical record of when or how it came to be. But, it would not be an overstatement to say that the red ruby dessert ( tub tim grob ) is one of the most well-known of Thai culinary creations. So beloved is this dish of tapioca-flour-covered water chestnut beads made to look like sparkling pomegranate seeds ( tub tim can be translated as “pomegranate” or “red ruby”) served in sweetened coconut milk that no Thai eatery would ever miss it out from their menus.
Inside travels the island on the trail of red ruby to give you our take on this jewel of a dessert!
